An Ohio man who allegedly made postings online in support of ISIS, and other postings threatening dozens of military members, has been arrested in Akron.

Terrence J. McNeil, 25, was arrested in November by federal officials, the U.S. Department of Justice said this week.

He’s accused of sharing the addresses, pictures, and names of 100 military members and calling for violence against them. 

“Now we have made it easy for you by giving you addresses, all you need to do is take the final step, so what are you waiting for? Kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe,” McNeil allegedly wrote along with the other information.

He reblogged the information on Tumblr as well as sharing other information on Facebook and Twitter, authorities say. On all three social media networks he advocated for “martyrdom.”

“Somebody should park a car bomb in front of a church, school or mall,” he posted to Facebook in May, according to the criminal complaint, reported the Fayetteville Observer.

In another post, he said he hopes Donald Trump would win the election, “So he can go to war in Syria and I can fight.”
